Season Ticket Waiting List | Sold Out

[Jam Tomorrow]

Pah ! The club are keeping their word, fuck legacy fans.

not had a season ticket since 2018-2019 but hardly missed a home game since and hoped I could get back on the season ticket ladder, I know it’s tough shit but surely having 6500+ ”loyalty points” and spending a fortune on match day tickets in the last few years should have had counted more than joining a free for all with fans who bought a membership last week.

Don't doubt they do, but they also sell junior tickets for £9! Think we'll be waiting a long time to see that at the Etihad, outside the FA Cup.

Not sure if you’re talking about season tickets or individual matches but my lads ST was £130, I think next season, which is less than £7 a game.

I’d be amazed if Liverpool are routinely selling individual tickets for £9.

What is the amount of season tickets we put up for sale? I know Liverpool sell around 26/28k because they like to rip of the foreign support who also spend shitloads in the shop..

I’d like to know this too.

Is there a Prem rule or something that states we have to leave so many seats available to purchase outside of season tickets ?

You can guarantee there will be empty seats for some home games so why aren’t we selling extra season tickets now when there seems to be demand with a lot of people missing out (by the looks of various social media) ?

I’m a lifelong ST holder so not impacted but really don’t understand our approach to ticket sales and tackling empty seats, which it sounds like we’re shooting ourselves in the foot with ?

Hard to believe I know, but it's matchday prices I'm talking about. £9 is the advertised price for under 16s in all stands at Anfield.

We have close to 40k season ticket holders. When you take into account hospitality and away fans, that doesn't leave many for match-by-match sales and I believe the PL rules insist on having a certain number.

I'm puzzled as to why you think selling more season tickets is the answer to empty seats. The vast majority of those empty seats are because season ticket holders don't turn up and don't list their tickets on the Exchange or pass them on.

Well fair play to them then.

I hope next season, the club stop doing this first come first served bollocks. It should be done buy how many points you have. That's a much fairer system

My two pence worth is that the club are heavily oversubscribed with season ticket holders. As others have mentioned there's the people that decided to renew this year after deferring last season now returning and the new season ticket holders it took on from last season. In my eyes they grossly underestimated the amount of people coming back and probably took on too many last season to make up the shortfall.
The cityzen membership was/is sold as the only way of getting onto the 'waiting list' and getting yourself a season ticket. As it is sold as the main benefit of the membership they needed to look as though they were offering something to cityzen members and that gave birth to the silver season ticket (this may just be coincidental but seems logical). It also explains why they are so elusive with numbers if so few were available. I can't see anywhere in the cityzens membership that mentions being put on the waiting list now either?!!
The way its been handled is very poor and the slogan the membership pack comes with in that it 'brings you closer to the club' is a bit ironic as a number have never felt so far away. I especially feel sorry for the individuals like Jam Tomorrow with 6500 points- potentially missing out to somebody whose never stepped foot in the Etihad before. Completely senseless way of doing it but encourages large numbers to pay £35 each year instead of rewarding loyalty. I can't see myself buying one of these lottery tickets again.

 

[Jazzyblue]

Well fair play to them then.

Just puts into context why there was a rush for Silver. Availability is rarely a problem for those games, the issue is whether the price is sustainable. £60 - £70 is a fair price for a parent and two kids to watch a match. We're at least £100 for the same, including Cityzen discounts.

Anything is fairer than what they’ve just done, but in my opinion, as matchday membership was what was advertised as getting people onto the waiting list that should be the mechanism for determining priority order - number of continuous years, then matches attended. I didn’t notice they’d swiped the waiting list ‘benefit’ from the membership. When did that happen?
